For $12,500, you can get your remains launched into deep space. Or you might prefer a Tibetan `sky burial` where the body is left in the open for vultures to eat as monks and the mourning family watch. It's considered a bad omen if the vultures will not eat, or if even a small portion of the body is left after the birds fly away. Just be glad that you're not the undertakers for the Tongan royal family, who aren't allowed to use their hands for 100 days after preparing a king's body. Though that's better than ancient times, when they'd be strangled or have their hands cut off after the king was buried. Or maybe your deepest fear is being buried alive. In that case, you should invest in one of the popular 1800's safety coffins, which came with bells and breathing tubes. Death may still be the great unknown, but in this book you'll learn all about how different cultures, different times, and different people dealt with the idea of the great hereafter. From lovely to bizarre, grotesque to funny, this book will take you on a whirlwind tour of funeral customs and trivia.
